Jawa rocker: motorcycle types 351-361, Jiří Wohlmuth
„"Kývačky" were in production since 1954. In the beginning it was a motorcycle of modern design and due to the limited range of offer it became the most widespread type on domestic roads. The chassis was universal, suitable for mounting two-stroke air-cooled engines of five displacement classes.
The first pages of the book contain a brief introduction with a quick overview of pre-war production. The rest of the content will enlighten the reader about the extensive history with period photographs of prototypes, dimensional sketches, photographs of sports and civilian versions from period newspapers, and detailed descriptions of the differences between the individual types. The chapters also focus on important figures involved in development and production, motorcycle racers of all categories, sales abroad, and the book also contains a reprint of part of the manual, copies of period brochures, and extensive technical tables.

Maintenance and repairs of ČZ 125 and 150C motorcycles, Augustin Šulc, Karel Šulc, Augustin Šulc jun.
Grada introduces a new book, it was ready for printing in 1955, but unfortunately it was not published then. Its content is articles that were published in the magazine Svět Motorů in the years 1953–1955. In them, the Šulc brothers devoted themselves to the maintenance and repair of the best-selling ČZ motorcycles, which are still the most widespread among collectors and veterans today. Many motorcyclists keep their motorcycles in good condition, but there are few who can adjust their motorcycle correctly, and even fewer who can find a fault and fix it. Why? Because they do not know their motorcycle. That is why we want to help them. With these words, the Šulc brothers began a series of 25 articles that were to be published in a sequel, and which they planned to publish as a manual. They covered in detail riding techniques (breaking in a new motorcycle, riding uphill, riding in the dark), maintenance (cleaning, lubricating, chain tensioning, adjusting brakes, caring for tires), but also more complex topics (disassembling the carburetor, adjusting the igniter, regrinding the cylinder, wheel alignment, engine repairs, removing and installing bearings, and other technical details. The articles are supplemented with technical photographs from the ČZ archive, comments on repair procedures from a contemporary perspective, and assessments of what is usable and what is not. The Šulc brothers' insider advice will certainly be appreciated by the entire community of veteran bikers even after years.

JAWA motorcycles on flyers and brochures, Miloslav Straka
The book is the last part of a triptych mapping almost a century of history of the Czechoslovak motorcycle industry. After the publications With the ČZ brand and Pionýr, Babetta and co. on leaflets and in brochures, we are coming up with a rich offer of original, often unique printed materials of our world's most famous motorcycle brand. At first glance, it seems that this is a book mostly with pictures, with only an introductory text by the author. Thanks to the pre-war brochures aimed at the domestic market, there is a lot of interesting reading available in Czech. In addition to the necessary technical information with a product description, the reader will learn a lot about the lifestyle, customs and priorities of the society of the time. The book Jawa Motorcycles on Leaflets and in Brochures is intended for anyone who is interested in history, not just motorcycle history. We believe that it will also appeal to the younger generation by recognizing that thanks to our ancestors, Czechoslovakia was among the most industrially advanced countries in the world before the war. All three publications, thanks to their focus and the amount of rare information they contain, have the ambition to remain in libraries for future generations to see.
